sublime text- "list lines containing 'find' string

Question

How do I list the lines that contains the matches from the \"find\" command ? ie., I would like to list all the matching lines in a separate window. Currently one can only goto

Answer 1

I think the simplest way is just to search for the line like this -> ".*find_this_string.*" and make sure that regular expression is ticked. Then you can click "find all" (alt+enter) and just copy and paste all results to a new window.

Answer 2

Try 'Find in Files' (Cmd+Shift+F on a Mac, presumably Ctrl+Shift+F on a PC).

Search results will display in a new tab, and you can double-click any result to jump to that line in the matching file.

• To search only open files, put <open files> in the Where field.
• To show only the lines that matched without surrounding lines for context, toggle the 'Show Context' option (to the left of the 'Find All' panel).

1.Here is a reference: How can I filter a file for lines containing a string in Sublime Text 2?

• Hit Ctrl+F(⌘+F) to "Find All" occurences;
• Hit Ctrl+L to Expand All Selection to Line.
• Then you can Ctrl+C(⌘+C) or Ctrl+Shift+K(⌃＋⇧＋K) to copy/delete the lines.

2.There's now a plugin for filtering lines: https://github.com/davidpeckham/FilterLines It allows filtering and code folding based on strings or regular expressions.
